This video tells the story of a pilot project which has brought clean, affordable energy to over 34,000 poor households in Colombia. Natural gas is safer, less expensive, and less environmentally damaging than other cooking fuels, but the connection fees are often too high for low-income families.

Compared with other fuels typically used for cooking, natural gas is safer, less expensive, and less environmentally damaging. But even though gas is more affordable, connection fees can put the cost of switching to this fuel out of reach for poor families.
